Seeed Studio reComputer R1225 LoRaWAN Gateway & Industrial Controller (EU868-4G)

Description

Seeed Studio reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) is an industrial LoRaWAN gateway and edge controller designed for deployments that need both EU868 LoRaWAN coverage and 4G LTE backhaul. Built on the Raspberry Pi CM4 platform, it combines SX1302 LoRaWAN, EC25-EUX LTE Cat 4, 3 x isolated RS485, dual Ethernet, BACnet, and Modbus in one industrial enclosure.

This version is especially useful when wired internet is not guaranteed. With built-in 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and industrial interfaces, reComputer R1225 EU868-4G can act as a field-ready LoRaWAN gateway, a BMS/BAS edge controller, and a remote industrial data bridge for distributed sites.

For projects in smart building, energy systems, remote metering, industrial IoT, and off-site gateway deployment, Seeed Studio reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) offers the key advantage of combining LoRaWAN and cellular connectivity on the same industrial platform.

Why choose the 4G version: The biggest reason to choose reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) over the standard version is remote deployment flexibility. When a site has sensors and field devices but no stable wired uplink, the built-in 4G LTE path makes this LoRaWAN gateway much easier to deploy.

Industrial integration: With 3 x isolated RS485, dual Ethernet, SIM slot, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, and local storage expansion, this platform works well as both a gateway and a protocol bridge for building automation and industrial systems.

Practical deployment notes: The included LTE antenna and LoRa antenna make the 4G model more field-ready. The included 120 resistors are useful when RS485 termination is needed in the field.

FAQ

What is the difference between reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) and the standard EU868 version?
reComputer R1225 LoRaWAN Gateway & Industrial Controller (EU868) focuses on wired and local network deployment, while reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) adds built-in 4G LTE for remote backhaul. If your site needs mobile connectivity, the EU868-4G version is the better choice.

What is the difference between reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) and reComputer R1025-10?
reComputer R1025-10 is a strong industrial gateway and controller for RS485, BACnet, and Modbus, while reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) adds dedicated LoRaWAN gateway capability plus 4G LTE for remote field deployment.

What is the difference between reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) and reComputer R1124-10?
reComputer R1124-10 is more focused on CM4 industrial gateway and building automation use, but it is not a dedicated LoRaWAN gateway with built-in cellular uplink. Choose R1225 (EU868-4G) when both LoRaWAN and 4G matter.

Can this 4G model work with ChirpStack and AWS IoT Core?
Yes. reComputer R1225 (EU868-4G) has official guides for ChirpStack and AWS IoT Core, so it can be used in both local and cloud-connected LoRaWAN gateway deployments.
